Although those products are the ones that pose the largest risk to American consumers, they have also recalled six more products. Sargento is trying to do everything possible to protect their beloved customer from the dangerous infection.

The Sargento recall started around February 11, 2017. Listeria poses the largest risk to pregnant women and newborn babies. But adults aged 65 years or older are also at higher risk of developing the infection.

The problem was found at the Deutsch Kase Hause, LLC facility that processes Sargento’s Longhorn Colby cheese. They found that a sample contained Listeria monocytogenes and urged Sargento to act.
